I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
All my friends have told me; If I hang around with you; That I'll go blind
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Give ya delusions of grandeur; And a evil eye; Give you idea that; You're too good to die
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Roses are red, violets are blue; And time is beginning to crawl
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
The sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet.
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
you remind me of something that used to be; somethin' that crossed over from another century
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor; And relive my dreams
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,; Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
Oh the fishes will laugh; As they swim out of the path; And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
You should be made; To wear earphones
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
Don't you cry and don't you die and don't you burn
You have explained every mystery.; What can I do for You?
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind; You could have done better but I don't mind; You just kinda wasted my precious time
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much; Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
she's true, like ice, like fire
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
She knows there's no success like failure; And that failure's no success at all.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable; And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.; At one time there was nothing wrong with me; That you could not fix.
He said his name was Columbus; I just said, "Good luck."
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
Does she know I still care?
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?
It's all been designed, he said, "To make you lose your mind,; And when you go back to find it, there's nothing there to find."
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
At the corrida we'll sit in the shade; And watch the young torero stand alone.; We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed; When they rode with Villa into Torreon.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
